EA Games to Develop Star Wars Games

Daemon Hatfield of IGN reported yesterday that EA Games has acquired the Star Wars license from Disney. That’s right, EA Games will now be publishing Star Wars games for the Mouse. EA will develop the core games for the gamers and the platform systems. Where Disney will retain the rights to develop games for the tablets, phones, and so fourth.

EA Games has already announced that 3 studios are already developing Star Wars games.

Battlefield Developer: DICE

Dead Space Developer: Visceral Games

Mass Effect Developer: BioWare

Could DICE develop/ finish Battlefronts 3? Could we see a new Boba Fett game? What will happen to Star Wars 1313?

EA is the new Activision. 10-15 years ago Activision pushed games out that were just not finished.. today EA is doing basically the same thing.. caring less about the product and more about the profit.

They put out so much though that occasionally something sneaks through that works, so we will see.

If they make a new Battlefront game is till be for the PS4 and the next X Box for sure. I hope that they give the game to some of the people over at DICE to make a next gen battlefront game in the BF4 Frost Bite 3 engine. That would kick so much ass it would make my head explode. BF3 and 4 maps are massive. it would be amazing.

There is also word in the underground that the Star Wars 13213 game may be passed along to a third party dev like Viscera, the creators of the Dead Space games.

Here is more evidence to back up the rumors. This is Gamasutra, a site devoted to game developers.

"The EA studios creating those "core" Star Wars games are Battlefield developer DICE, Dead Space developer Visceral Games and BioWare, which has plenty of spacefaring experience with Mass Effect, Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic."

Yeah, as I played through all 3 Mass Effect games, I thought to myself, you know, these are great games. But I wonder what it would be like if we applied that gameplay inside the Star Wars universe. I may get that answer. And be fine with it.
